Real Estate Hot Topics
Pocket Listings/Off MLS Listings/‘Coming
S
oon’ ListingsJust as a reminder, the MLS Policy states that a listing must be placed on the MLS within 5 days of a signed listing agreement unless an exclusive listing agreement is signed and submitted to the MLS within that 5 day window.Listings that are held off of the MLS are considered ‘pocket listings’ and members have been voicing concerns about this growing trend. Some third party websites are offering ‘coming soon’ features that promote this practice. Concerned members feel that the value
of the
MLS is being tarnished because pocket listings violate
the spirit of cooperation and compensation
.
The MLS Board of Directors is considering changes to our current policy to address pocket listings. If you have any feedback or concerns, please contact policy@utahrealestate.comSlide5
